Why should anyone believe a word you say on anything if you can't be straight about what you really are ?

You are again making moral equivalents, you are saying because of something we did in Ireland many years ago, it's perfectly acceptable to blow up innocent women and children.
I am of Jewish stock, should I go around blowing up parts of German Cities, because they murdered millions of my kin?
To be fair Israel is ruling with a reign of terror due to their disgusting treatment at the hands of Nazi Germany and racist europe.

But it's not is it. The prods growing up there have had roots there going back several generations and the land is as much theirs as it is anyone's. It's a global fuxking society and people need to get over racial and religious bigotry and stop being cunts.
Blowing up innocents, women and children is not to ever be respected am sometimes I wish there was a god so the Provo cunts would actually go to hell. Not just them but their counterparts on the other side of the divide.
The IRA didn't continue the fight for ideology but to act as an Irish mafia running drugs, weapons and protection rackets from the 90s on. Fuck em.

It seems to me that a number of people think the suffering and horror of war is a one sided affair. Innocent men, women and children die in wars, through bombings, shootings, and in some cases bloody, targeted brutality. The troubles were no different.
If an Irish child was killed by a British bullet were they any less of a victim than a British child killed by an IRA bomb? And don't say, the RUC and the army never deliberately targeted civilians because that is a ridiculously naive position that show's complete ignorance of the reality of the conflict in Ireland.
One poster has asked for clarification of why I would say the IRA deserved respect as a fighting force. I have already posted the link to the British goverment sponsored enquiry into the military operation in Ireland which concluded that PIRA were a "resilient, effective and determined force".
More than 150 IRA volunteers were killed on active service during the troubles, many more were arrested, tortured and imprisoned - so I think portraying them as cowards is much more a value judgement than a realistic opinion.
The fact is that that the IRA operated under the most intense state security regime ever established in Europe with constant multi level surveillance, routine arrest and interrogation proceedures, and a pretty much shoot on site policy for known suspects. Despite this they continued an effective guerrilla war against majority military, security force and political targets. They also acquired weapons, orchestrated high security prison escapes and, thanks largely to the continued brutality of the RUC and the British Army, built up widespread community support.
The suggestion made by another poster that the IRA declared a ceasefire from the brink of defeat is not supported by any of the available evidence.

You shouldn't presume to know what I think especially as you are wrong.
I despise the IRA and hope they all end up in hell.
My point was based on comments regarding innocents being killed by cowards. This was happening for centuries before the 70's and 80's. Odd that you dont care about those poor sods.
